Vista - Problem displaying games explorer as a menu item

greyman1970 · 08-30-2008

Ok first of sorry if I have posted in the wrong spot!

Anyway here is my problem, i like to have games explorer show as a menu rather than a link, but when i show it as a menu its says its empty, but when i open it up as a link it show all my games.

How can i get the games to show up on the menu.

Here are the images to show what i mean (hopefully)

Right click the windows start button (vista orb)
Go to Properties,
Start menu (tab), customize.
Scroll down to Games, and
Check option "Display as Menu".
Click Apply/OK (which ever applies) to each dialogues.
Click the start menu, and now Games should be the menu rather than opening
the Games Explorer.
